After a few agonizing days of waiting, I finally received the first six TF Binaltechs today! I won this in ebay at what I think is a great price. Even with shipping the average price for each is $48. Not a bad deal! Here in the DC area i've seen these average about $60-$80 and thats only for Smokescreen and Lambor, the others haven't been seen around here yet in Binaltech form. I tell you these things are probably the best transformers they have made to date (with the exception of the Masterpiece Convoy/Optimus Prime). I will try to spend time transforming each one and place them in my display shelf. I just wanted to let you guys know that I'm soooo happy I have them now. ;D ;D ;D

Awesome, congrats man! Remember! If your wrist starts to shake while transforming, stop..take a moment...and breathe.

Congrats ronin! I'm waiting to receive some that I recently ordered. And yeah, be careful when transforming them. I've heard many stories of the paint chipping during the change process, so pay close attention to what's rubbing against where. Anyway, don't forget to post pics when you have them out on display!  |

Thanks Rex I will definitely post as soon as I can. Trouble is my wife don't know I have them so I have to play ninja stealth to open and display them. I'm trying to see if she will buy the "I got this from Walmart/Kmart on sale honey, they were only $12 ea". You think that might work? lol! ;D

The good thing Rex is that my wife didn't get to look at the box, she saw Smokescreen first in car mode. After an hour of struggling with the friggin manual I got him transformed without any damage (the front doors do have a tendency to fall off but its re-attachable) and she liked it, she actually thinks its cool. I did say it's a limited run (I think I said from Walmart but I think I'll change it to ToysRUs instead) and they made 2 kinds, a diecast and plastic versionl. Hopefully that will not raise eyebrows in the future. Wish me continual luck, I said I only bought 2 but there are more coming that I am looking for. Aint I a stinker! ;D ;D ;D

One selling point (even if she does find out i paid about $48 for each) is...."this is way cheaper than the soul of chogokins honey", however, I will still collect those.

Well here are some pics of my BT's. I haven't opened Silverstreak and Deadend yet (so not to shock the wife). I went ahead and transformed my Hasbro OP to the truck mode so him and Convoy won't fight over who's the boss :-) .  |
